Salmon Potato Pie

Source: The Ottawa Citizen

1 Tbsp. soft margarine
1 1/2 Tbsp. flour
1 C. 1% milk
3 Tbsp. chopped green onion
1 C. flaked, cooked or canned salmon, drained and rinsed
1 C. frozen peas, thawed
1/4 C. grated light old Cheddar-style cheese
Salt and freshly grated pepper, to taste

Topping
2 1/2 C. leftover mashed potatoes (made from
    about 4 med. potatoes)
1 % milk, if necessary
1 egg white, beaten

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Melt the margarine over med. heat in a med. saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for about 1 min. Gradually add milk and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and thickened, 3-4 min. Stir in green onions, salmon peas and cheese; mix gently. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon into 9-in. pie plate.

Check mashed potatoes for spreadability. If too firm, mix in milk a little at a time to lighten unmashed potatoes. Spoon over the salmon mixture and, using a fork, spread evenly to cover. brush with beaten egg white. Bake for 15 min. or until heated through. Brown top under broiler for 2 min if necessary.
